Hi guys!
As we all know, Halloween is one of the most important holidays in America…for some (Dee) it’s even the most important one;) You could feel the excitement among people when Halloween came closer. Not only would your shopping experiences at Meyers and others turn out to be creepy…wandering around through shelves decorated with spiders and little witches, even if you drive down the streets of your neighborhood, you felt like visiting a Halloween museum.
Since the Hella guys from Germany, Winfried and Steffen, have been in town during this sinister times, we were planning on discovering the real American Halloween spirit together. And so we did. We drove to a town called Romeo, North of Washington, where Steffen had read an article about a certain street where neighbors compete against each other with decorating their front yards. Actually, those owners did not only decorate their front yards but also their entire houses. They almost re-built them into castles and pirate ships. We were stunned!…Halloween decoration started in Germany the last couple of years, but what we have seen in this street was far from anything we could have imagined.
To recover from creepy streets we went to a bar called Coyote Joey’s. We came hungry and were disappointed when told there was no food served…anyway; we had a pizza delivered into the bar. Everybody envied us because of a delicious hot out of the oven pizza. Of course we did not share!!
On Halloween itself we had a small office party, where again “Halloween Nerds” Steffen and Winfried were our special guests. We did not have a costume contest, but if we had one, both of them would have won. Food wise – surprise, surprise: We had pizza!!
